Vietnam’s magnificent six in AFF Cup 2018 team

Fox Sports has picked six members of Vietnamese men’s football team in their team of the tournament.

The team has eleven starters, a coach and seven substitutes. In a tribute to the newly-crowned champions of AFF Cup 2018, Fox Sports has stuck to the 3-4-3 formation that was used by Vietnam in all of their games in the tournament.

The first Vietnamese name on the list is Dang Van Lam, chosen for the goalkeeper position.

Although Malaysia’s Farizal Marlias was another candidate with his ‘sweeper-keeper’ ability, the site said, "Van Lam was happy to keep things simple and impressed with his shot-stopping, aerial prowess and dominance in the box."
